The Advent Conspiracy
This we start our Advent Conspiracy. Advent Conspiracy was founded on the radical idea that we can celebrate Christmas humbly, beautifully, and generously. Advent is the story of a wondrous moment when God entered our world to make things right. It is the greatest story ever told and it changes everything—including the way we celebrate Christmas.
Be a part of a different story this Christmas, one that celebrates our King and bring hope to a watching world. I want you to conspire with me to turn Christmas upside down this year and do this season differently. How that might look for your life is up to you. But we’re going to give you some ideas in the next 4 weeks.
We will conspire together to Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, Love All.

Series is based off of the book written by Rick McKinley, Chris Seay, and Greg Holder, titled “Advent Conspiracy: Making Christmas Meaningful (Again)”.

God is calling us to give more intentionally and relationally. That means giving more of our time, our energy, our memories, our talents, our presence. It’s a both/and. Spend less money and give more of yourself to the ones you love. We have to ask the question: Is how we are…

Advent Conspiracy: Spend Less

Last week we learned to Worship Fully. This week we will Spend Less. What was the one gift you remember getting for Christmas last year? Next question: What about the fourth gift? Do you remember that one? Truth is many of us don’t because it wasn’t something we necessarily wanted or needed. Spending Less isn’t a call to stop giving gifts; it’s a call to stop spending money on gifts we won’t remember in less than a year. America spends…

Advent Conspiracy: Worship Fully

First, we will Worship Fully. Nearly every character in the Christmas story that encountered our King responded in the same way: worship. Let’s make the conscious effort to reorient our hearts toward Christ. Christmas began with worship, may it end with worship. Join us for Advent Conspiracy: Worship Fully.
